Pretty much what we were all expecting; Sufjan and his happy band of crazies doing what they do best. Broken down, Volumes 6 & 9 are pretty akin to his previous Songs for Christmas collection, with volumes 7 & 8 venturing in more experimental directions. Volume 7 is almost entirely comprised of large group choruses while volume 8 is some sort of acid-fueled space odyssey. The Final Volume "Christmas Unicorn" is where Sufjan really shines brightest though. One of the most memorable and freshest "Christmas" albums that I think I've ever heard. Thank you Sufjan, you've made the little boy in me very happy. 4.0/5
